Can You get PTSD from a Relationship with a Covert Narcissist

Can you get PTSD or CPTSD from a relationship with a covert narcissist

100% yes!! Let’s talk about PTSD and CPTSD in relation to narcissist abuse. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is trauma response triggered from a single terrifying event, such as:

natural disaster
home intrusion
car accident
serious injury

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is trauma responses developed from ongoing or chronic trauma. It is prolonged traumatic events, such as:

ongoing abuse
childhood abuse
domestic violence
kidnapping, enslavement
prisoner of war

The majority of people exposed to trauma do not develop long-term post-traumatic stress disorder. It is important to get help and support to prevent our normal stress reactions from developing into PTSD. A vital piece of this is the deep human need to feel safe. You need emotional safety.
